I have been studying Korean at HKU SPACE for nearly 4 years. I had studied at other centres, but HKU SPACE gave me a whole new learning experience.

In addition to reading textbooks, we also learned through games which really helped me to memorise words and phrases and improve my speaking skills. I also built a good relationship with my tutor throughout my four years of classes which were a genuine joy for me.

In the middle of my studies, I learned I was pregnant. Even though it was quite tough and tiring, submitting homework and test papers with a baby boy in my tummy, it was still a magnificent experience for a mother-to-be. Eventually, I managed to complete the whole course, before giving birth to my little son.

My maternity leave forced me to postpone my studies for a semester, which meant I split up with my old classmates, and we could no longer take the same classes together which was a shame as we had become good friends.

After graduating with a higher certificate this year, I am really sad to say goodbye to HKU SPACE , but I’m sure I will study with them again as it feels like a second home to me now.
